Buttermilk is the leftover liquid from churning butter out of cream.

Store bought buttermilk is usually cultured, much like yogurt. It is used in baking much like sour milk.

That's correct, I think the waitress was a bit surprised when the four of us walked in and ordered 6 entrees. After eating Backcountry Cuisine for 5 days in a row we were pretty excited to eat some...

Sorry to bring this thread back from the dead, but I've been super busy since we got back from our trip in April and just realized that I never posted a re-cap. I'll start off by saying thank you to...

That's a great looking setup! I love shooting and hunting period correct muzzleloaders. Way more challenging/frustrating than with a modern inline, but the reward is so much better.

Brining is definitely key with wild turkeys.

I do a lot of turkey hunting here in the US and I'm assuming the Turkeys in NZ are very similar. I don't pluck any of my turkeys, just bone out the...

I'm in the Northeast, about 3.5 hours/150miles north of New York City.

We've got about 16" of snow and it is currently -11F

Here in the States, I like to use dried milkweed pods. You can pull out individual seeds with a whisp of hair on them and let them go in the wind. You can see them for a long ways, so it gives you a...

I'll probably take just the cape/headskin and skull cap, but could change my mind. If so, that is good to know.

Thanks Dorkus, If I shoot a stag, I'm planning on head skinning in the field and taking just the antlers/skull cap to loose some weight on the pack out. As for salt vs keeping it cool, that will...

Yeah, that was my plan. Clean everything up well, turn ears, split lips, eyelids, then salt. I want to get them as dry as I can before flying home.

Thanks, that's good to know.

Hey All,

I'm doing some planning for an upcoming trip to the South Island and have come up empty handed with any forum searches on this topic. If we're lucky enough to get something, I'm hoping to...

Norsk,
Thanks for the insight. Unfortunately, that is about as much time as we can get off of work /leave families, so we're just going to have to do our best with the time we've got. Our flight...

When picking your spot, keep in mind that they will usually try to circle downwind when coming in to a call. It just depends on how worked up they are.

Generally, whitetail are not as vocal as elk or red deer(from what I've seen in videos, no real experience with red deer...yet,) but do respond to calls. I don't leave home without a grunt call...

Canross, thanks for that. I'll email them today to verify if there have been any changes.

Thanks Dave! I've definitely seen some of your episodes, looking forward to checking out the rest!

Thanks! That's good to know about the airport. We'll be filling out our firearm permit apps very soon. I just got my open area permit taken care of. The whole driving on the left is going to take...

Thanks mooseman, we'll definitely report back with a big write-up after the trip.

Myself and three buddies just booked our tickets from the US to Christchurch for a dream hunt. We'll be on the South Island from March 30-April 14 with packs and rifles. Our plan at this point is to...

I've been using a Klymit Static V insulated and am happy with it. They are pretty lightweight, aren't too expensive and seem to go on sale pretty regularly. They only change I made to mine was adding...

Inreach sos does not work without an activated plan.

Cook goose breast just like a steak. It gets tough and livery tasting if you over cook it. I t makes great kabobs on the grill.

Thanks for the insight. At this point, our tentative thoughts were a tahr/chamois trip on the west coast with an east coast backup location, then a week of chasing reds further south.
